Address Check

Address Validation determines if the address extracted from a government-issued ID (e.g. passport, driver’s license, ID card) exists in the real world. Jumio checks the address against a number of trusted data sources (e.g. USPS, Royal Mail) to properly format and ensure that the address exists in a given jurisdiction.
